Can a guarded gamer girl lower her shield for a new friend or more-than-friend?

"EARNEST AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD... PITCH PERFECT." Publishers Weekly, starred review

Thirteen-year-old Ingrid s been living a double life. At school, she s the Girl With Dead Parents, her popular friend Rachel s charity case. Online, things are different: she crushes it in her favorite MMORPG, geeks out in her favorite fantasy fandom, and runs a popular social media account. If only real life were that easy.

But when Ingrid finally stands up to Rachel and starts drama, it suddenly feels like she has no life at all . . . and nowhere to sit at lunch.

Until she gets a supersweet wrong-number text from a mystery boy at her school, and everything starts to go right. Spending time together playing Ancient Tomes Online as Stitches and Traveler makes her feel like she s really connecting with someone. But when she begins to suspect that Traveler may be a popular classmate who isWAY above her in the cool-kid food chain and whose original text was actually intended for Rachel she faces a difficult choice. Can they be friends IRL? She wants to open up, but getting close to people has hurt her before.

Is making real friends only fantasy after all?

Speaking to the messiness of middle-school friendships (and first loves), this is a warm, witty, enormously entertaining book and a love letter to geek culture, gaming, and the healing power of fantasy.

Rezensionen
Bye Forever, I Guess makes an excellent case for wanting more for ourselves in all areas of our lives, and for insisting on being seen, even if it s awkward or scary at first. Meadows middle grade debut is a well-written, winning coming-of-age tale with loads of hilarity, empathy and heart.

A hilarious enemies-to-something-more tale, told equally in prose and text messages, this book is sure to please any middle schooler in need of a sweet romance. Hand to fans of Cory Doctorow s In Real Life (2014) and Alexis Nedd s Don t Hate the Player (2021).
